Sort of a double whammy there.

Looked more like a prolonged dip in an acid was to me. Flesh melted to the bone in seconds, and from the shreiking, it sounded painfull as well.

Another trick for Kyuuketsuki, they may not need to breathe to live, but they need to pass air over their vocal cords to talk. A fine dusting of powdered silver would mos likely be unpleasant. Or a fine mist of holy water to be inhaled - burn from the inside out.

UV lights may not hurt them per say, but I have noticed they find full spectrum lighting unpleasant on their eyes. I belive it may have something to do with the larger number of cones in the retina causing them to be far more sensative tto certain wavelengths. I would have more data on this, but I am not a hunter, and kyuuketsuki that I would trust to not try to have me for a snack in the middle of an experiment that is probably painfull to them are rare indeed.

I prefer the more direct Silver Coated Ball Bearing Fragmentation Grenade myself.

Valid point. But they regenerate so quickly that if you don't inflict real damage they won't be held at bay for more than a few moments.

Yea, Bert loves blast radius.

I have been meaning to ask if DarKnyht if he would like the loan of a couple of the Paint Ball guns my team and I use and a supply of HolyWater filled Paint balls? Major nasty on Vamps and not to dangerouse to humans.

Paintballs are generally too slow to make effective weapons. You can, with some practice and skill, knock 'em out of the air with your hand.

Now why didn't I think of that...

*Insert sound of Bert's Trigger-happy part of the brain having an orgasm*

The Paint Ball guns my team and I use have been tweeked majorly and are able to do full auto as well, so as Ron said they won't put a vamp down but they will ruin its night and make things easier for a proper take down.
Bert you are weird but we knew that.

Actually the tech guys tweeked them for the best effects. Also the pellets we use are not standard, so up shot not as often as you may think and mostly only when doing full auto that is why I tend to only use semi auto mode myself. So at worst we get 1 in 30 at worst that bursts before leaveing the Barrel more often it is only 1 out of 50, Odds I can deal with and no big deal to just keep shooting normally.

Without breaking them? That is matrix type stuff.

But if you tinker you can crank the muzzle velocity quite a bit.

A lot of police departments use the markers for training, so I have some experience servicing and modifying them.

Can you crank them up very much without destroying the balls?

I suppose I should read to the end before posting....

Perhaps. If you use a more resilliant compount, or thicker compound, the balls are less prone to breakage - but the former reduces muzzle velocity and the latter reduces usable load. Both make it harder for the balls to break on impact.

It all reqires some carefull calculation.

No, no, you break them. But if you take them on the Glove or Shield, what's the damage? "Oh no! I got my cowhide glove wet! Its ruined!"

If you could be killed by water, why would you not be wearing some protective clothing? I'd wear a fucking raincoat all the time.

Agreed. Ever see Peter's Evil Overlord list Ron?
